i looooooooove my farmer’s market. it’s wee, and it’s the same people every week, and they have lots of good things, and it’s yummy. today’s haul was a 5# jug of honey, since i emptied my last 5# jug of honey refilling my honey jar last weekend (tea drinker, remember — and also we’re coming up on cold season, and niqui drinks a lot of honeyed herbal tea for sore throats when sick; yes, it really does help), plus some bosc pears and red cort apples — they were out of the paula reds that i got last time that were really good, sadly, but happily they send me a newsletter every week to let me know what they‘re bringing. also a few tiny potatos, a couple pounds of green beans so i can freeze some, some bicolor sweet corn, and a huge bunch of basil that smells so good i want to stick my head in the sack to breathe.

your pal niqui will be really sad when the farmer’s market closes for the year in a month, and she has to go back to the grocery store for produce. :(
